"I live in the Tower of Flints," he cried. "I am the death owl."
-from "Titus Groan" by Mervyn Peake

A random notion spawned by random thoughts of Gormenghast, which recalled the above quote. This isn't an illustration from the story or anything, it's not Lord Groan, it's not a proper owl, but, this is what that quote alone conjured in my mind. He's. . .a death owl.
